and for some reason the tulip module that runs it wont load by default.

durning the base install (via network) i didn't find it in the list of drivers to add, so just to try something, i dropped into a shell and typed modprode tulip
exit
and then i could configure network and go on my merry way. but after rebooting it gave some network errors. it again didn't load tulip, so as root i typed
modprobe tulip
/etc/init.d/networking restart
and it seems fine now. but for something that is going to be a headless machine, this really isn't a workable solution.

can anyone dirrect me to what i need to change to fix it?


You have to tell the kernel you want the tulip module loaded at startup. Modprobe only works until the next re-boot, as you have found out. To fix this you can:

Run the "modconf" program and select the tulip module to be inserted into the kernel

OR

add the line "tulip" (without quotes) to the /etc/modules file.

Either one should work ok, but I prefer the latter one.
